Excerpt from Text-Book of PediatricsThe introduction of this work to the physician and student is made easy by the widespread and favorable acquaintance it has achieved among those who have studied on the Continent or have read it in the original. The preface to the first edition sets forth the value of a text produced by the collaboration of a number of authors, each a master of his branch of the specialty. The plan of collaboration has been carried on in the translation. Up to the present no similar one volume work has appeared upon the market.A further distinct advantage is the concise treatment of the subject matter. The arrangement is such that no time is lost in referring to any one descriptive passage. The etiology, pathology, symptomatology and treat ment are all complete, but as short as compatible with their purpose. The book covers the entire field of pediatrics as completely as more bulky vol umes. The discussions of the individual disease conditions are absolutely dependable and the therapeutic measures advised are in line with the most recent accepted usage.Due to the interest of the American collaborators much has been added to the original subject matter and, through the kindness of numerous friends, who know the book in the original, a large number of illustrations have also been added. The editors take this opportunity to thank their associates, by whose help we were enabled to bring this work to completion, for their keen interest and their painstaking study of the sections revised by them. We also wish to thank Dr. R. O. Beard, Secretary of the Medical School of the University of Minnesota, for his careful revision of the English. To J. B. Lippincott Company we feel especially indebted for their patience and their appreciation of the problems of the translation.May the volume find as great a Sphere of usefulness in this translation as it has had in the original.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
